Nottingham Forest could be without a number of players for what might be a crucial period in the Premier League season.
The original plan saw the Africa Cup of Nations scheduled to take place over the summer in the Ivory Coast, with the tournament scheduled for June and July. It would have been a repeat of the summer tournament that took place in Egypt in 2019.
The original schedule would have meant that the impact on Premier League teams would have been minimal with players taking part during the off season. However, the plans have now been changed due to the heavy floods expected in the west of Africa.
